It makes an even tic-tic-tic sound; I know for sure it isn't a wrist pin or rod bearing --I know those two-- or even a lifter/tappet. It's just a light tick at low revs, and it vanishes at either idle or higher RPMs. Can you give me your $.02 on this? Black/tan early '98 Contour SE Sport; dead-dead-deadsky (gone, split, outta here, afterlife kids) '05 Pontiac Sunfire; 2.2L Ecotec, ATX, well-equipped Mom also has black/tan '98 Mystique LS; V6, ATX, Alpine CD deck
